Life on the Moon marks the bold return of Modern Life Is War, their first studio album in over a decade.The album serves as a tribute to loss, a reflection on grief, struggle and the beauty of living, the moments between dreams and nightmares, memories and desires. Known for their distinctive blend of raw emotion and confrontational intensity, Modern Life Is War once again delivers a mix of gritty realism and poetic despair, pushing forward while staying in touch with that which has resonated with audiences over the years. Crafted over several years with the help of long-time collaborator Brooks Strause and friends, Life on the Moon is as much an emotional outpouring as it is a sonic evolution. Showcasing the band’s continued ability to confront personal turmoil with a potent mix of defiance and vulnerability.
Life on the Moon is a record about the pain of separation and the joyful energy of union as filtered through an eclectic tapestry of eccentric songs.
